Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration device that can be used alone or as a terminal in a POS system.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device will be described with reference to FIG. This product sales registration device is provided with a drawer 2 at the bottom of a housing 1, and a display section 3 at the rear of the top of the housing 1. Further, in the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side.
A receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side. Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing a receipt 8 of this receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of such a product sales registration device, the receipt 8 is issued from the front left side of the housing l;
Since it is close to the operator, it may interfere with the operator and damage the receipt 8.

In addition, the receipt issuing printer 7 is connected to the product data reading device 4.
Because they are arranged in parallel next to each other, the main body of the device is wide, and when scanning products with labels with barcodes printed on them and storing them in the cart, the product can be made larger by the size of the receipt printing printer. have to move,
There are also problems in that this increases the burden on the operator and increases the scanning time.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device that performs data processing such as registration of sales products based on product data inputted by an input means, a drawer that has a flat shape and can be opened and closed in the front direction is provided. A product data reading means having a reading window formed on the front side surface is provided at the end of the upper surface of the drawer near the back, and a keyboard and a printer are provided above the product data reading means.

A drawer that has a flat shape and can be opened and closed in the front direction is provided, and a product data reading means with a reading window formed on the front side is provided at the end of the upper surface of the drawer near the back, and the product data can be read. Since the key fob and printer are installed above the reading means, the vertical movement distance required for the reading operation is only the drawer height, and the horizontal movement distance is the drawer width. Since only the dimensions are required, the distance the product must be moved during the reading operation is shortened. Furthermore, since scanning is performed substantially toward the front, there is no need to turn the product over during the reading operation.

Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of erroneous inputs due to products or the like coming into contact with the keyboard during reading operations, and the possibility that receipts issued by the printer may be damaged due to interference with the operator. Furthermore, since the product data reading means, the keyboard, and the printer are arranged using the space above the drawer, the area occupied by the device is reduced.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

This product sales registration device 11 is provided with a drawer 12 that has a flat shape and can be opened and closed in the front direction, and a barcode scanner 13 as a product data reading means is provided at the end of the upper surface of the drawer 12 near the back. A keyboard 14 and a receipt issuing printer 15 are disposed above the barcode scanner 13, and a display 16 is further disposed above the barcode scanner 13.

However, the barcode scanner 13 has a reading window 13a on its front side.
A reading scanning light is emitted toward the front (operator side). Furthermore, this barcode scanner 1
A reading confirmation lamp 13b is disposed on the front side of 3, adjacent to the reading window 13a. This reading confirmation lamp 13b emits blue light when reading is possible, and changes to red when barcode data is read, and is used to confirm the reading status of the barcode.

The display 16 also includes an operator display section 16a on its front side, and a customer display section (not shown) on its back side.

Further, the input means includes the barcode scanner 13 and the keyboard 14, and the keyboard 14 is used when registering products to which barcode labels cannot be attached.

In such a configuration, when reading a barcode label etc. affixed to a product, the distance the product needs to be moved in the vertical direction is only the height of the drawer 12; The distance moved in the horizontal direction is only the width dimension of the drawer 12. Therefore, the scanning distance of the product becomes shorter. Furthermore, since scanning is performed substantially from the front, there is no need to turn the product over during the reading operation.

As a result, the burden on the operator is reduced and the time required for reading is reduced.
Improves work efficiency.

In addition, a keyboard 14 is placed above the barcode scanner 13 disposed at the end of the top surface of the drawer 12 near the back.
and a receipt issuing printer 15 are provided, and the receipt issuing printer 15 issues a receipt 15a upward from a receipt issuing opening 15b. Therefore, the keyboard 14 and the receipt 15a issued by the receipt issuing printer 15 can be positioned outside the readable area of the barcode scanner 13 and outside the movement area of the product during the reading operation. It is possible to eliminate problems such as erroneous input caused by products or the like coming into contact with the keyboard 14 during the reading operation, and problems such as damage caused by the receipt 15a interfering with the operator.

Therefore, product registration work and customer support can be performed reliably and quickly.

Furthermore, since the barcode scanner 13, keyboard 14, and receipt printing printer 15 are arranged using the space above the drawer, the area occupied by the device is reduced.
Effective use of the installation location becomes possible.

Effects of the Invention In a product sales registration device that performs data processing such as registration of sales products based on product data inputted by an input means, a drawer having a flat shape that can be opened and closed in the front direction is provided, and a drawer on the top surface of the drawer is provided. A product data reading means with a reading window formed on the front side is provided at the end near the back, and a keyboard and printer are provided above the product data reading means, so that the vertical position of the product required during the reading operation is The distance moved in the direction is only the height dimension of the drawer, and the distance moved horizontally is only the width dimension of the drawer.
The moving distance of the product during reading work is shortened. Also,
Since scanning is performed almost from the front, there is no need to turn the product over during the scanning process. These reduce the burden on the operator and at the same time shorten the time required for reading work, resulting in improved work efficiency. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of erroneous inputs due to products or the like coming into contact with the keyboard during reading operations, and the possibility that receipts issued by the printer may be damaged due to interference with the operator. Therefore, product registration work and customer support can be performed reliably and quickly.

Furthermore, since the product data reading means, the keyboard, and the printer are arranged using the space above the drawer, the area occupied by the device is reduced, and the installation space can be used effectively.
